Later revisions of Reina-Valera Bible in 1862, 10909, 1960, and 1995 began to omit the Apocrypha and substituted a more modern language translation. This highly popular and widely used Spanish Bible had its first editorial revision in 1602 by Cipriano de Valera, who gave more than twenty years of his life to its revisions and improvements. The translation is based on the original Greek and Hebrew text and also included the deuterocanical books of the Old Testament. Return to the HOME PAGE of Felix Just, S.J.The Reina-Valera Antigua Bible was first translated and published in 1569 by Casiodoro de Reina in Basel, Switzerland after twelve years of intensive work for the first Spanish Bible. The above table first, and in bold type, lists the abbreviations preferred by the Society of Biblical Literature (see ), followed by abbreviations sometimes used by other publishers and authors. Thus, it is best generally to use abbreviations of at least three or four letters.

Does ' Is' refer to Isaiah or is it a form of the verb 'to be'?.

Does ' Co' refer to 'Colossians' or 'Corinthians'?.

Does ' Ec' refer to Ecclesiates (Qoheleth) or Ecclesiasticus (Sirach)?.

Does ' Jo' refer to the book of Joshua, or Job, or Jonah, or Joel, or John?.

*Note: Some websites and religious publishers use very short abbreviations, consisting of only 1 or 2 letters, which sometimes causes confusion. (in English and Spanish en Inglés y en Español)
